Butterflies in November

While outside taking pictures for my patterns in nature module work, saw this little guy on the roses. Feels really strange to see a butterfly at this time of the year.

Spent much of Saturday working on the nature as design part of module 5. First completing the drawings of the leaves. Here are a few more of them.

Next had to create collage with eyes, both human(shown) and animal. Not 100% sure if this is what they expected. There was not much guidance on this bit ! I used up by pile of old mags to cut out eyes !
Then started to layout and stitck down the different photo collections I have been making. This one show plants which a '5' of something. Like a grouping of five leaves, five petals etc etc ... I also started the collection showing patterns in nature. I have a few photos and my friend L has sent me a couple of autumn photos she has taken while walking her dog =)


So now I am trying to work on the Resolved Sample for this section. In fact they are only asking you to design the work. But we'll see about that. So what am I looking at ??

Need to make 4 panels all a minimum of A4 size which represent the four seasons in an abstact form.

I am now starting on a brain storm sheet to get ideas & making a list of the colours which represent the seasons. The obverous way to go is to create four sets of the colours squares i did a couple of weeks ago for the colour sampling task. Not sure about doing that. Been toying with doing that but using a different method on each panel, so the Spring one if squares and the autumn one looks like tree rings, summer one has sun rays and winter has snow flakes. as you can see needs some work doing on it.
